Mercury 600 HP Outboard with lower unit steering

Brunswick showed a planetary transmission on an outboard in a patent issued in late 2018. US Patent 10,161,482.
US10161482B1 - Planetary transmission arrangements for marine propulsion devices - Google Patents https://patents.google.com/patent/US10161482B1/en?oq=us10161482 That patent reviews numerous other marine transmissions.

Astounding that they given a patent for this. I think I'll patent the disk brake, the gas cap, and maybe the shovel, and pants pocket while I'm at it.
